The image displays the ancient Library of Celsus, situated within the archaeological site of Ephesus, near Selçuk, Turkey. The prominent subject is the Library's two-story, restored marble facade, viewed from a low angle. The facade consists of multiple tiers of decorative columns, pilasters, and entablatures, exhibiting intricate carvings. The lower level features four recessed niches, each containing a white, full-body statue of a classical female figure. A large, rough-hewn stone block with discernible ancient Greek inscriptions occupies the right foreground, partially obscuring the facade. To the left of the library, several tall, dark green coniferous trees stand against a distant green, undulating hillside beneath a clear, blue sky. Strong natural light illuminates the scene, casting shadows that define the architectural details. No human figures are present.
